At a glance

Performs structure-based virtual screening using AutoDock Vina 1.2 for molecular docking.

  • Screening chemical libraries against a protein structure to find potential binders
  • SKILL.md covers Version Compatibility, Receptor Preparation, Ligand Preparation and Docking with Vina, plus 3 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls pip
  • Tasks that involve Drug discovery and cheminformatics

What it does

Bio Virtual Screening is an agent skill from FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills. Performs structure-based virtual screening using AutoDock Vina 1.2 for molecular docking. Prepares receptor PDBQT files, generates ligand conformers, defines binding site boxes, and ranks compounds by predicted binding affinity. Use when screening chemical libraries against a protein structure to find potential binders.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `examples/virtual_screen.py` and `usage-guide.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Drug discovery and cheminformatics. The repository describes itself as: The largest open-source medical AI skills library for OpenClaw🦞.

When your agent uses it

  • Screening chemical libraries against a protein structure to find potential binders
  • Tasks that involve Drug discovery and cheminformatics

Example prompts

  • “Use the bio-virtual-screening skill to perform structure-based virtual screening using AutoDock Vina 1.2 for molecular docking”
  • “/bio-virtual-screening”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b1f9b6e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Bio Virtual Screening loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 324 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 324 words (~2,188 tokens).

“Reference examples tested with: AutoDock Vina 1.2+, RDKit 2024.03+, pandas 2.2+”
